- brico 15y agoI always wondered what apple's plans were for the next 10 years. The iPad is close to perfection, the next iterations surely will improve but only slightly and in maybe 3 or 4 years most people won't need the newest device anymore. The same will be for smartphones in a couple of years, the limitations will be in the speed the carrier provides.

- apaprocki 15y agoGiven how dependent Apple's devices are on wi-fi, I'd love to see them invest in building out real, full-coverage wi-fi in the top 10 U.S. cities available for free to any Apple device. Getting into the cellular game seems like a mistake, but investing in wi-fi "towers" to side-step cellular companies seems like a win.

- apaprocki 15y agoTrust me, I agree with that more than anything. I don't want to see them spend money on anything, really, if they don't need to. More wishful thinking.. :)
- cmelbye 15y agoEspecially when you consider the investment Apple has already made into web services that side-step the cellular establishment (iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Push Notifications, App Store, etc). They don't need cell towers, everything works on Wi-Fi.
- outside1234 15y agoThere is no shiny in that. Apple is about making the shiny. I don't mean that as a negative comment - they are about making shiny easy to use products and an ISP is not that.
